Senedd Election 2026

[Elwood Blues]

Re: Senedd Election 2026

Ok ....lets have numerous examples of racism , child abuse , domestic violence , violent offences etc from Labour , Greens and Plaid

On a level with what we have had from reform ......for each party

A few years ago when the spurious accusations about Leon Brittan were circulating, there were several sneering on here about the Tories and their involvement with child abuse domestic violence etc. I did a bit of research on the net.

And found there were dozens of reports.

From all three (at the time) major parties.

And the Tories weren't the worst. Based on numbers.

I'm not sure we will definitely see that Reform are either, much as I dislike many of their supporters.

And before you accuse me I am not by any means a Reform supporter.

Reform wont be the worst ?

In terms of racist comments , activity , convictions .....absolutely they will be

As a fan , I assume, of democracy you would be sensible not to make excuses or lessen the nefarious behaviour of reform and their supporters

They recently stoked the flames in epsom where a local woman alledged rape against immigrants

The police had to clear the streets with riot officers

There was no evidence at all that she was a victim and it appears she made things up

This is the sort of garbage that fuels reform

Dont go round appeasing these people

Sure, here you go.

None of this takes away from the fact that Reform have an issue with some candidates. They do. But the point is they all do.

Your error is that you take the examples in only one party and ignore the rest. That isn't combatting racism, it's allowing it to flourish where you want to turn a blind eye.

You then go on to project the actions of a few councillors onto all 5000 Reform candidates and imply they are all involved. What's more, you then suggest all their voters have racist beliefs.

If you can't see the irony in pretending to care about racism whilst simultaneously projecting the actions of a minority onto an entire group then you need more help than I thought!

The below is just a handful. You could add dozens to this list.

At least 9 Green candidates accused of racism. Two were arrested.

It is indeed just a handful

You have 5 parties to gather your evidence on and 1 internet search of reform brings up HUNDREDS for one party with , until last week very few representatives

In the major parties the oily creeps are very much a minority ..in YOUR party .....reform .....its sinking in dirt and decay

Hundreds?

You are just simply untrue Sludge. Maybe that's why you think why you do, you just base it on things that are wrong?

The reality is that ALL parties have issues with candidates, Reform and Greens are right up there at the moment, probably due to rapid growth and insufficient vetting. But it's across the board.

Either way, it's completely wrong to blame an entire group for actions of a small minority

Two years ago you were saying the same with the Tories. Now it's Reform whilst you ignore it anywhere else. What a fraud you are, but even when presented with clear evidence of it being a wider problem you refuse to see it.

Pointless carrying on with you.
